We are stewards of 200 acres of Piscataway Park, a national park located in Accokeek, Maryland, on the shore of the Potomac River directly across from Mount Vernon. The Ecosystem Farm, a project of the Accokeek Foundation’s Center for Agricultural and Environmental Stewardship, was created in 1992 as a demonstration of organic fruit and vegetable production. Our land serves as an outdoor classroom for our educational programs, research, agricultural and conservation projects. The park is open to the public year round. The Managers of Ecosystem Farm must be hard-working, resourceful, detail-oriented individuals who can manage the production. For all open positions visit the The Accokeek Foundation website. To apply, send cover letter and resume to Patti Norment, Director of Operations, Accokeek Foundation at pattinorment@accokeek.org.
